Scriptorium Pen Rests!


Scriptorium Pens

Recommended Posts

I’ve been wanting to offer pen rests ever since I started making pens. I’ve experimented with lots of ideas and, after much trial and error, have come up with a design and a manufacturing process that works for me. Basically, a pen rest doesn’t have to do much except hold a pen or cap to keep it from rolling away, right? I wanted a design that was functional, unobtrusive, and that would look good with any pen style. I think this one fits the mark.

I also wanted to offer pen rests for anyone, not just those who order clipless pens. (They’ll get a matching pen rest automatically.) Enter the Standard Model pen rest in one, two, and three slot styles. I chose two basic, go-with-anything materials for this standard model: Alabaster Swirl and the ever-popular Solid Black.But what if someone has a favorite pen and wants a special pen rest to go with it? Enter the Custom Model! I make custom pens, so why not custom pen rests, too? I’m delighted to be able to add this writing accessory to my product line-up, and look forward to making lots of them! Check out the new Pen Rest page for details. I think they’ll make excellent stocking stuffers, too!

Those look great! Was a nice option to offer... Can't wait to get my custom pen AND rest from you one day soon!

Those look pretty nice. I like the fact that they have more than one groove in them. Sadly, they're a little pricy for me.

I had considered getting myself a cheap set of chopstick rests a while back -- but *none* of the oriental groceries in the area seem to carry them (not even my go-to place, where I was able to find a 24" diameter 2-handled wok -- Xmas gift for the husband -- and could have gone bigger...). Weird.

I was afraid folks would think the price a bit high, but despite the fact that they look simple, they actually take a good bit of time and effort to make. Maybe this is why you don't see too many people offering them for sale.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
